SM Goh calls the late Mr Ho See Beng "an effective union leader"
Channel NewsAsia - Monday, December 8
SINGAPORE: Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong said the late Mr Ho See Beng was a helpful and warm person, who always had a ready smile for all.
Mr Ho, who was the first president of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and former MP, died on Friday at the age of 90.
In his condolence letter to Mrs Ho, the senior minister said Mr Ho was an effective union leader and MP as he was humble and sincere.
Mr Goh said Mr Ho’s life was typical of many in the older generation, who had sacrificed, fought for independence, and helped to build today’s Singapore.
Even though Mr Ho came from a humble background and did not go to university, his intelligence and determination got him far.
SM Goh said Mr Ho contributed to Singapore’s success through his service in NTUC, Parliament and the People’s Action Party (PAP).
